Tim Ellison commented on HARMONY-6376:
--------------------------------------
The tests build and run on DRLVM ok [1], did you particularly want to try J9?

> Classlib tests don't build on 64-bit linux due to 32-bit J9

> Following the instructions from our RUNNING-TESTS.txt file leads one to download an evaluation build of IBM's J9 VM. That VM is available for 32-bit x86 Linux. Unfortunately, the script compiles x86_64 Linux libraries that are incompatible with the x86 Linux VM. The result is when starting the VM ("java") the process hangs:
> Can we ask the fine J9 folks at IBM to provide an x86_64 Linux binary for Harmony development?
> One workaround is to use a 32-bit operating system, which will work even on x86_64 hardware. Another workaround is to build Harmony in VMware or VirtualBox.
